It seems like Wilder has changed his tune, probably read all the comments saying people think he lost, seems like Fury vs Wilder 2 on the way ......... either that or the PPV numbers came back good lol.

I do think Wilder is a bit pissed off, tbh though if I were him I'd go for Joshua but I guess his ego won't stand being questioned for 8 months lol.

If i was Fury i'd say no to this. He has to come to England, regardless of whether his opponent is Joshua or Fury. f**k his belt. Nobody wants to get cheated again. Done nothing to be the one setting the terms of the 2nd fight.

"My situation is that: [Wilder's] saying that I won't fight him," he said (via BadLeft Hook). "As I've said, I'm willing to fight Deontay Wilder [on] April 13th in London. So I don't know what more I have to do to get that message across.

"He's more interested in fighting Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury holds no world titles.

"Let me say this: I can't control what Deontay Wilder, I can't control what Tyson Fury does -- or even as far as what they say. But what I can control is what I say and what I'm doing.

"I made sure, with the negotiations, I've booked the date in advance, set the venue in advance and I'm making my point clear in front of everyone watching: I'm willing to fight any one of these guys, especially the [WBC] champion Deontay Wilder, April 13th at Wembley. What more can I say?

"I'm not interested in Tyson Fury, though, 'cause he's not the champion. That's where I'm coming from. But that 'lineal' status, when I was joining the heavyweight ranks no-one told me about lineal champion.

"I knew about WBC, IBO, IBF, WBA and WBO, and I've got my hands on four of them. So I don't know where this lineal just popped out of the woodworks from.

"But if I've got to get my hands on that too, and that's a belt that the world's interested in, then Fury can step in if he's serious. That's where I'm coming from: I wanna fight the champions.

Wilder, over to you

As for the lineal champ, lol. Literally no one knew or cared what that was and Fury put in his place. Try win some fights before coming at the champ

Lol embarrassing

Have fun fighting Whyte/Chisora or Miller.

Wilder and Fury will give the fans a proper HW fight. Again.

Wilder is actually ducking now.

Just so you know, he prefers the 50/50 cut that he'll get from Fury because he's fed up of begging Joshua for more share.

Also on the lineal thing ...........he's right, its fk all.

Nothing but an invisible title Fury's using to bolster the fact that he doesn't have a belt.

I hope Wilder and Fury get it on quickly because one of them needs to fight Joshua before one of the greatest HW trio we've seen since Ali, Frazier, Foreman slips up and loses a belt.

I'm actually surprised Wilder is willing to give up taking the April Joshua date because he may never get a shot at unifying the title .......... but saying that if its Joshua vs Fury for all the belts in Wembley I won't be crying about it.

Joshua is the easier fight for Wilder in terms of style and AJ neing worse than Fury.

Wilder is taking the harder challenge.

AJ has come out of Wilder vs Fury looking terrible, being called put by everyone nlfor his bullshit now.

I love it, everyone can see through his shit now as the two best HWs prepare to run it back.

Brilliant.

By who Americans and Fury nut hugger's?

Joshua looks terrible because he was called to take his mandatory ............ ok then.

Maybe Wilder looks terrible for not accepting the April date Joshua deliberately booked for him.

The only reason Wilder is now keen to rematch Fury is because his ego can't handle that everyone even in America thinks he lost, he's on a mission to save face, he also gets a 2nd 50/50 split, something he know's he can't warrant against Joshua who has 4 belts to his one.

So Joshua is offering Wilder out and is actually making a tour of doing so ........ but yet looks terrible, ok then, your narrative has flat tyres.
